Poll: The great international parcel race.

[Em3bbs]

I’m watching Michael Palin’s round the world in 80 days, and it really is amazing how far we’ve come in a short period of time. You’ve had a parcel picked up, transported to a different country and delivered in 26 hours. It’s quite staggering.

Yeah, nah.

 

[englishpremier]

C'mon man, update?

Surely if UPS were going to be successful it would show by now?

Wasn't it a holiday in Die Schweiz today?

 

[JamesH85]

The suspense is killing me, this is my most exciting NYE in years!

Nothing has moved at all today

 

[ThatsWhatSheSaid]

Wasn't it a holiday in Die Schweiz today?

Normal post was operating today, I got some. Don’t know about couriers.

[Reuben klang]

This is awesome.

 

[Angilion]

Yeah, nah.

Hopefully the destination of those parcels isn't the one that also goes with Ozzy Man

I think I might buy a "Yeah, nah" T-shirt. I've had good entertainment from Ozzy Man.

 

[SideWinder]

@kindai - Please could we have a basic/quick updated map?

 

[Joeyuk]

None of them seem to have covered themselves in glory here, would have expected one them to had a good job atleast.

You realise that it was being shipped over the holiday period right? This is both an increase in parcels and a decrease in working hours available at the same time.

If it takes 2-3 days normally, I would think you could double that over this period.

Have DPD lost the parcel or something?

 

[Raymond Lin]

FedEx you are letting me down!

A great comeback from TNT!

This is surprisingly interesting.
